Last night a woman came to her first session of the Bible study group I attend. Alas, it was our final session before September, and she'll be living well out of driving distance by then.

Oh well, at least she can attend the group's barbecue in a few weeks. Not sure if I'll attend, tho. I prefer my vegetables not grilled, and I don't... eat... m...

Okay, I have to confess: I ate meat last night. Beef, of all things -- that was the first meat I gave up, more than eight years ago. You see, one guy brought several dinners' worth of Taco Bell tacos, and I forgot to warn him of my diet. I'd already had dinner, but I hate to let food go to waste.

No, I didn't get sick. It tasted great -- even better than I remembered ground beef tasting. And this is Taco Bell, for crying out loud.

No, I'm not about to forgo all pretense of pesco-vegetarianism. There are more important things in life than maximizing my gustatory pleasure. I get enough of that.

Sometimes it makes sense to be flexible, especially when you're still committed to living your choices and don't need to make it an excuse to sidestep your regimen.

Surprised you didn't get sick from it; from what I hear, people who go vegetarian actually lose the ability to digest meat over time.

I think it's a bigger risk with people who don't eat seafood either. Plus, once in a while, I've accidentally gotten a salad with chicken or a pepperoni pizza slice and decided not to waste them. Dunno if those rare occurrences made a difference.

Could also be because it's not much. Though I eat poultry these days, it seems that if I eat a lot at one time (BBQ plate) it makes me feel sick. Also, yeah, I would think fish counts.
